Please add --monkeypatch option to pact mock service start up command and pact-provider-verifier command

Requires standalone version pact-1.19.0.

This is to support: pact-foundation/pact-mock_service#78 and another issue that I can't currently find.

The feature that the user is requesting is not something that should be changed for all users, as it is a non-standard behaviour, and breaks the Rack spec. However, we can allow the underlying code to be monkey patched for his specific use case. The value supplied to --monkeypatch will be an absolute path to a ruby file that will monkeypatch the underlying header logic.

This is not something that we need to document, but we can use it to deal with edge cases when necessary!

Moving this to pact-node as that is where the the CLI is integrated.
